Sandy123 Posted July 2, 2019 Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 Implanted post 12 days. Just blew my nose lightly and the implanted ear popped slightly. Is this cause for concern? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 2, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 @Sandy123 I had restrictions on sneezing and nose blowing for awhile post surgery but I do not remember how long. Can you contact your CI center and ask them? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy123 Posted July 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 It felt like I had a bug in my nose I went to rub it not thinking a blew a bit. I am sure there is to be none of that before activation, hopefully there will be no issues... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
HearPeers Heroes Mary Beth Posted July 2, 2019 HearPeers Heroes Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 @Sandy123 I remember counting down until it was safe to sneeze. Smile. Then I accidentally sneezed a few days before it was safe. All was fine. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy123 Posted July 2, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 2, 2019 It's a bit nerve racking but it wasn't really forceful... Thank goodness. 🙂 Mary Beth 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Forgot not to blow my nose during winter. What you just experienced is one of the reasons why it’s one month post surgery for activation. I wouldn’t worry about it too much. I experienced the same worry until I researched online then I stopped worrying. Implant will still work but the first few weeks is a bit nerve wracking sometime. I was worry the implant was sliding out of cochlea or something. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sandy123 Posted July 4, 2019 Author Report Share Posted July 4, 2019 All seems to be fine with me so I'll not worry about it... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pdk Posted July 5, 2019 Report Share Posted July 5, 2019 Recall having popping noises. At one instance it felt like I had a bubble in my ear and when I hummed I could hear sound. Got all excited, thought residual was going to be good. No problems but no residual. No need to worry. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
